Hi all,  
why i can not find the metadata attached to gltf node “extras” property when importing data with the gltf importer. When i load the gltf data, the “tags” in details windows has only one entry; the node name.  
With Datasmith importer, you got the metadata in"tags" in details window.  
Thanks

Can you share a gltf and some screenshot.

I tried to reproduce but as tags I only get the name of the corresponding actor with Datasmith and nothing with new importer. Even though there is a difference, Datasmith does not seem to import extra information from the samples I used.

Hi, thank for the responce.  
Exactly, the importer read only the node/actor name, but the extras data in the gltf are not imported.  
I work on UE 4.26. However, the extras are not being imported in any UE version i tested (4.26,4.27,5.0).

It seems i can not upload attachments as i am a new user. Is there another way to share files (e.g. via shared link on a website you guys on the forum trust?)
